Ophthalmologists have long recognized that children’s eyes are unique and quite different from adult eyes. In fact, the problems that children encounter with their eyes and vision are so unique that the separate sub-specialty of pediatric ophthalmology evolved for their care. Pediatric ophthalmologists receive advanced training to care for these special needs.
We care for a full range of pediatric eye conditions, including:
- Eye Muscle Disorders
- Double Vision
- Pink Eye/Conjunctivitis
- Amblyopia - "Lazy Eye"
- Strabismus - "Crossed Eyes"
- Childhood Eye Allergies
